Mat, what do you have to say to the players that think when Rs3 dies, MTX automatically comes flooding into osrs? Can you give a respond to people that believe that?

We are not about to let Runescape die. There are a whole load of talented people working to make Runescape last for many years to come. At the end of the day, all of us came from Runescape; it is either the game you grew up with or the game that started your love of MMORPGs and I want to see it flourishing in 10 years time. And I think it will be.

More Human Than Inhuman.

Note that Mat always says "there is no plan (currently)", not "we will not".

As much as I would love to say that. I don't pretend to know what the players will want in 10 years time or how the game will be, so it would be foolish for me to decree an absolute decision now.

I think most people get that notion, but are worried that Chinese overlords might decide to cash out someday and demand it anyway.

In the (nearly) 6 years I have been working on OSRS not one person has ever come to me to demand something. Sure, we've made some wrong decisions over the years (and probably will make more in the future), but what the community wants has always come out on top in the end.

Guys, I have just spent the last 6 weeks working on the budget for 2019 and 2020 and I can absolutely asssure you there isn't any Monetisation Manager in the OSRS plan... more Content Devs (yay), more QA (yay), more Artists (yay) but no Monetisation Manager.

We understand how you feel about MTX and there is no plan to introduce it to OSRS without your agreement. So, it is safe to take your tinfoil hats off and put them away until next time.

What is amazing is that OSRS is the only MMORPG which has grown year on year over the past 5 years. We got something special here.
